My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 1069

Nash then used his connections to gift her a 7nm lithography machine on her birthday. Baroque later aimed to secure cooperation with Universal Group, and it was Nash who intervened in Universal Group’s collaboration with Innovate Collective.

That was why Baroque was able to obtain the collaboration rights without a hitch. Baroque had been on the brink of bankruptcy but had now grown into a small enterprise with tens of billions in chip orders in just two months. All of this was because of Nash.

Hera was also working hard. She had undergone a transformation at work and was no longer the weak woman she used to be. She thought she could handle everything on her own, but the company’s rapid development cost them nearly two billion in funds in terms of equipment.

The company’s account was running low on cash, and the constant pressure made it hard for her and her parents to breathe. They did not say anything to Nash because he had already done so much for them.

Yet today, Nash acquired Innovate Collective. With that, all of

Baroque’s problems would be solved. Nash was not at the company often and rarely involved himself in company affairs, but he had always quietly contributed behind the scenes.

“Silly girl, why are you crying?”

Nash stood up from the couch and gently wiped Hera’s tears.

“You big meanie… why are you so good to me?” Hera hugged Nash again, crying even louder this time.

Nash hugged Hera gently and whispered, “I’m your husband. Who else would be good to you if not me?” Hera held onto Nash tightly. She was afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.

The manager of the testing department was stunned. What did Hera just say? Nash bought Innovate Collective? That was a big company with over 2,000 employees! Did he just… buy it?

She felt admiration and jealousy but no hatred.

“Ms. Waugh, why are you just standing there as a third wheel?” whispered Lily, Hera’s secretary. Virginia blushed and quickly left the office.

Lily gently closed the office door and asked, “What’s wrong with Ms. Lewis?”

Virginia looked deeply at Lily and replied, “Her husband bought Innovate Collective!” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Lily let out a sudden scream, her eyes widening like saucers. The nearby employees cast puzzled glances at her. Lily quickly covered her mouth, but her heart was pounding wildly.

As the president’s secretary, she naturally knew the pressure Hera faced. Now that her husband had done this, all the pressure dissipated like smoke.

“Mr. Calcraft is just so… awesome!” Lily could not help but exclaim loudly, venting her excitement.

In the office, Hera finally left Nash’s embrace. She looked up at him and kissed him on the lips. “I’ll go entertain Mr. Watson and the others first. I’ll look for you later!”

Nash ruffled Hera’s hair and smiled. “You go ahead. I have some matters to attend to as well. I’ll have Melody pick you up tonight!”

There were only three days left before his trip to Munford. He needed to refine a batch of medicinal pills during this time. Hera nodded, her eyes turning red as she looked at Nash. “Thank you, my husband!”

Nash teasingly replied, “We’re an old married couple. There’s no need for such formalities!” Hera made a face at him before leaving the office in a flurry.

Nash then drove back to Royal Bay.

Hera signed the contract with Walter and consulted with the business tycoons for deeper insights into corporate matters. Time passed quickly, and it was already five in the evening. Hera returned to her office and sat on her chair, getting ready to call her father.

However, as soon as she picked up her phone, she felt nauseous. Furrowing her eyebrows, she patted her chest and called out, “Lily please get me a glass of water!”

“Sure thing!” Lily was in an extremely cheerful mood. She had a sweet smile on her face.

Just as Hera was about to make the call, she recalled that her father would likely be in a meeting at this time. Thus, she sent him a message instead.

[Dad, your son-in-law bought Innovate Collective for me as a gift!]
